Abstract

Effective systems for pre-school education and upbringing aim at raising the professional status of the staff, which is generally considered a key factor of quality. The system should aim at pedagogical workforce consisting of professionals with a full professional qualification specialized in pre-school education at ISCED level 6. The new challenges faced by upbringing and education need staff professionally enabled for creative action, which will stimulate, motivate, provide various educational situations in which the child will experience its own self-realization. The profession – preschool teacher has its own developmental path and is built on the basis of general principles and an appropriate system of scientific knowledge and practical skills. Education and professional development of preschool teachers is a challenge in the reforms and it is the key issue of an educational institution.
The aim of this paper is to perceive and indicate the current conditions and challenges of the system of education and professional development, as well as the need for change, possible directions and solutions. Therefore, we have analyzed the model of education and professional development of preschool teachers in Macedonia, the reform process, analysis of the most important documents of the European institutions and other international organizations, analysis and comparison of the experiences of EU countries, in order to offer an authentic model for the education of educators that will be open, dynamic and harmonized with the lifelong education of educators.
